Indications of Rhinozol 1% Nasal Drops

• Xylometazoline is used to treat nasal congestion, rhinitis, sinusitis, and headaches.
• Nasal congestion is linked to tubal block and serous otitis media.

Pharmacology

It is believed that oxymetazoline mediates this effect by causing vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa, which contains the venous sinuses; nasal decongestion allows breathing through the nose, providing relief from sore throat caused by mouth breathing, which dries and irritates the throat; and nasal decongestion allows breathing through the nose. In one study, subjects with nasal congestion reported relief of earache and sore throat in addition to nasal decongestion. The venous sinusoids that line the nasal mucosa become congested due to a number of etiologies, including rhinosinusitis and allergic or non-allergic rhinitis. The nasal mucosa's blood vessels contract as a result of the activation of -adrenergic receptors, restoring nasal airflow. The most abundantly expressed 1A- and 2B-adrenoceptors in human nasal mucosa may have the most crucial role in nasal mucosa vasoconstriction. Xylometazoline is a more selective agonist at 2B-adrenoceptors and has affinity for 1A-, 2A-, 2C-, 1B-, and 1D-adrenoceptors. During inhaling and exhaling, xylometazoline lowers nasal resistance and increases nasal airflow volume. Another imidazoline nasal decongestant, oxymetazoline, had a comparable duration of action to xylometazoline but displayed a somewhat quicker beginning of the effect.
